In this episode of The Geek in Review, Greg Lambert hosts a solo conversation with Triona Buckley, Chief Product Officer at Actionstep, about generative AI's growing influence on mid-market law firms. Buckley challenges a common assumption about legal AI: faster task completion does not always remove friction. An associate might produce a draft within seconds, only to transfer the burden upstream to a senior lawyer responsible for reviewing sources, reconstructing reasoning, and correcting mistakes.Buckley argues law firms should shift their attention from speed to systems. Standalone drafting and research tools address individual tasks, while system-level AI connects work across an entire legal matter. Embedded within everyday workflows, AI helps lawyers locate information, reduce administrative work, and preserve more time for client advice and professional judgment. The goal is a smoother operating model, rather than a collection of isolated tools producing faster documents.The conversation also examines institutional knowledge, especially within firms lacking large knowledge management or innovation teams. Buckley describes an approach where AI captures decisions, context, and reasoning as lawyers work. This creates a continuously expanding record of how the firm handles matters, advises clients, and applies professional judgment. Governance still plays a central role, including clear audit trails showing whether a person or an AI agent performed each action.Greg and Triona then explore AI as an individual tutor for junior lawyers. Remote and hybrid work have weakened the traditional apprenticeship model built around observation and informal office conversations. Drawing upon decades of firm experience, an AI tutor might question an associate's assumptions, prompt additional research, and reinforce the firm's preferred methods. Such systems offer structured practice while preserving the essential mentoring relationship between senior and junior lawyers.Another major theme is the hidden cost of delayed time entry. Actionstep's Trace passive time capture technology monitors work across practice management, email, and document applications, then presents lawyers with matter-linked, billing-ready entries. More accurate records help firms recover otherwise forgotten time while producing better data for pricing, staffing, client estimates, and profitability analysis. Those insights grow more important as clients push firms toward fixed fees and output-based pricing.Buckley believes mid-market law firms hold several advantages during the AI transition. They often operate with fewer systems, maintain closer client relationships, and move through organizational change faster than larger enterprises. Success will still require disciplined implementation, trusted internal champions, connected data, and sustained attention to client service. Her message is optimistic but direct: firms with strong relationships, clean data, and a clear economic strategy will be better prepared for agentic AI and the changing business of law.Actionstep's U.S. Midsize Law Firm Priorities ReportMetatags: legal AI, mid-market law firms, Triona Buckley, Actionstep, law firm innovation, AI legal training, legal practice managementListen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Substack[Special Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.]Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCiccaTranscript:

Message from Jayson Majarucon on June 28, 2026
As we celebrate Father's day, we will look at the character of God the Father, as Jesus reveals it in his Parable of the Prodigal Son. Our God is one who rejoices when lost sinners return home because he is a God of compassion.https://midtownchurch.com/
In this sermon, Josh Kouri teaches that in the parable of the Prodigal Son, both the rebellious younger brother and the self-righteous older brother are lost, and that the Father's extravagant grace—ultimately revealed through Jesus, the true Older Brother—seeks, welcomes, and restores sinners who could never earn their way home.

Message from Kevin Celestin on June 21, 2026
Jesus does not avoid broken people, but moves toward them, bringing truth, freedom, and restoration. Believers are called to trust the Son of God, who has the power to break what holds them captive and bring them back to God.
What does it mean to be a good man and a good father, today? Stef Liston helps us explore Paul's example in 1 Thessalonians 2 of fathering churches by exhorting, encouraging, and charging.
On this Father's Day, Ryan Hunter urges father's to lead their children by experiencing their sonship in God as seen through the lens of Psalm 103.

Standalone Message: The Importance of Holey Friends - Pastor Tom JJ Wood (06/14/2026) by Word of Life Assembly of God
Message from Dale Cuckow on June 14, 2026
Will you focus on the size of the storm or the One who is with you in it? The same Jesus who spoke peace to the wind and waves is still greater than anything you face today.
In a world where churches can find all kinds of different things to emphasize and focus on, how do we as a church know what we should be giving our attention to? What exactly is the mission that Jesus has given us? We are excited to have Pastor Peter Privitera with us this Sunday. He is the Senior Pastor of Crossway Church in Lancaster County, a church in our denomination, Trinity Fellowship Churches. He will be preaching on Matthew 28:16-20 as we consider what is God's mission for the church.
In this second installment of Echoes of Worth the host and panel continue a deep conversation about moving beyond performance and reclaiming spiritual sovereignty. Topics include the hidden costs of pretending, the spiritual ego, belonging and boundary-setting, social-media cult dynamics, and the courage to embody authenticity without seeking approval. Guests join the panel to share personal stories — from family dynamics and narcissistic relationships to healing practices and partnerships — illustrating how honesty, humility, and self-respect create meaningful connections and inner freedom. Expect candid anecdotes, practical insights on integrity and awakening versus performative spirituality, and guidance for standing alone in your truth while magnetizing more aligned relationships.

2026 Chico Attendees SeriesMark Woods, photographer and cinematographer, speaks about his love of the stand-alone image. Mark Woods is a fine art black & white still photographer and commercial cinematographer raised in a California family deeply rooted in photography and film. His father operated a portrait studio in Hollywood, while his grandfather famously purchased and released the film Reefer Madness. Growing up surrounded by cameras, film, and darkrooms would later shape Woods' lifelong visual career.Woods discovered his passion for image-making while attending the University of California, Berkeley in 1968, where he studied Photo Ethnographic Anthropology. During his years at Berkeley, he became known for creating powerful street photography and formal documentary imagery. By the time he graduated in 1971, Woods had become the university's preferred photographer for student activities, jazz festivals, and campus publications, often credited as Francis Woods.After returning to Hollywood, Woods worked extensively in both still photography and motion picture production. He opened a still photography studio at Columbia Studios, producing advertising imagery before transitioning fully into cinematography. Over the course of a 30-year career, he shot and directed more than 1,000 commercials and 25 feature films, earning multiple industry awards for his work.In addition to his commercial career, Woods taught advanced cinematography at several respected institutions, including California State University Northridge (CSUN), the American Film Institute (AFI), National University, and ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena.In 2004, Woods returned to his roots in analog black & white photography, building a traditional darkroom and focusing more deeply on fine art still imagery. His photographic series include Berkeley 1968–1973, W/O & Later (Hollywood Behind The Scenes '73–'79), Pasadena's Arroyo landscapes, early Chinese structures at the Huntington Gardens, floral portraits, and other still life works.Working primarily with large format photography and traditional analog processes, Woods combines documentary realism with a strong pictorialist influence. His landscapes are created using natural light, while his still lifes are carefully illuminated using strobes, tungsten lighting, or available light depending on the subject and mood.Today, Mark Woods continues to explore timeless photographic methods while preserving moments of history, atmosphere, and human experience through both still photography and cinematography.https://www.markwoods.comhttps://stills-that-move.myshopify.comThis podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book ClubBegin Building your dream photobook library today athttps://charcoalbookclub.comThe Chico Review is the country's premier Photobook Retreat.

Fear has a way of convincing us that we’re alone — that our future is uncertain, our past is catching up to us, and the darkness ahead is too much to face. But Psalm 23 offers a different vision: a Shepherd who goes before us, walks beside us, and pursues us with goodness and mercy. Rather than denying the realities that frighten us, it points us to the presence of Christ in the midst of them. Listen to this sermon as Shawn Slate explores why the Good Shepherd is the answer to our deepest fears. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.

Christopher Sanchez is on the brink of making some history—probably just two starts away from it! Tim and Jeff are heading to the ballpark tomorrow to celebrate Lou Gehrig Day. ALS is a cause that has touched the Kurkjian family deeply, following the passing of Uncle Matt (Tim’s brother) from the disease in 2023. If you can, make it out to a ballpark on Tuesday, June 2, and help support a great cause. Shohei Ohtani wants a Cy Young Award. Knowing him, he'll probably find a way to get one. But with pitching dominating in both leagues, it won't come easy. Plus, the Washington Nationals are scoring runs in bunches! We also look back at one of our all-time favorite Bobby Valentine moments. Ronald Acuña Jr. is back and better than ever, and Fernando Tatis Jr. finally does it! The Wheel of Kurkjian returns on a Monday, which is always a good thing—especially with Tim and Jeff back together in the basement studio.
